Benchmarks for Assessment – Competency Based Training

Accredited courses are competency based.

The concept of competency focuses on what the employee is expected to do in the workplace.  It also embodies the ability to transfer and apply skills, knowledge and attitudes to new situations and environments.

One of the most important characteristics of competency based training is that it is focused on training people for actual jobs in the work place.  The training, therefore, has relevance to the individual.

A competency standard is a nationally agreed statement of the skills and knowledge required for effective performance in a particular job or job function.  Someone who is competent can demonstrate that they have the required skills and knowledge and be able to apply these to the standards of performance required in the workplace. They indicate clearly the standard of performance required in the job by the industry or enterprise.
